Checking Your User Environment for the First Time

Before you log in, your system administrator should have set your required user environment variables and corresponding entries in the .cshrc file in your home directory. These system environment variables are essential to using Simplified Chinese features.

.cshrc File

These system environment variables might not have been set. So the first time you log in, before you start OpenWindows for the first time, check to make sure lines like the following are in the .cshrc file in your home directory:

setenv LANG zh
setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin
 
set path=( /usr/SUNWale/bin $OPENWINHOME/bin $path )
 
...
 
if ($?USER != 0 && $?prompt != 0) then
   /bin/stty cs8 -istrip defeucw
endif

Make sure the LANG variable is set to C (ASCII) or zh (Chinese) before the if...endif statement and that no prompt is set before the if...endif.

If these lines are not present or are different, contact your system administrator. If you are your own system administrator or an advanced user, refer to Simplified Chinese Solaris System Administrator's Guide for further information on setting up your Simplified Chinese Solaris system.

.openwin-init File

If you have a .openwin-init file in your home directory and might use the Simplified Chinese character input facilities, check this file for the presence of an htt command, as described in "How and When htt Is Started".

.xinitrc File

If your system has a .xinitrc file in your home directory, check and make sure it contains at least the lines provided in Simplified Chinese Solaris $OPENWINHOME/lib/Xinitrc file.
